Happy HSP
The
Podcast
Are you a highly sensitive person (HSP) who often feels overwhelmed, misunderstood, or out of place in the world around you? Then The Happy HSP Podcast is just for you, and I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Kimberly Marshall, and I’m your host. Join me weekly as I dive deep into the personal stories of everyday HSPs. We’ll explore what it means to live life with heightened sensitivity and discover the many reasons to celebrate our gentle nature.
Each episode features an inspiring conversation with an HSP who shares what they love about their sensitivity, what they struggle with, and the powerful strategies they’ve used to find happiness and peace in a world that can easily overwhelm us.

Episode #2: An Alcohol-Free HSP’s Journey to Self-Love
Today I’m joined by Gretchen Bergantine, also known as The Alcohol-Free HSP. She’s a Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach, a fellow highly sensitive person, and a very dear friend of mine. In this episode, she shares her powerful journey of self-discovery, sobriety, and spiritual awakening — that had all been sparked by one unexpected moment during the COVID pandemic.
We talk about the turning point that led her to quit drinking, what it was like to nourish herself as an HSP in ways that didn’t involve alcohol, and how embracing her sensitivity opened doors for her to pursue deep healing and personal growth.

Episode #1: Intuition as a Guiding Light for HSPs
Today, I’m joined by Jess Kachelman of Sensitive Women Rising — she’s a coach and creative whose journey into discovering that she’s an HSP later in her life completely transformed not only how she shows up in the world, but also how she parents and helps her clients rediscover their identities and build their self-confidence.
In this conversation, Jess shares how she went from feeling far “too much” and hard to love, to embracing her sensitivity, intuition, and creativity as her greatest strengths.
